[Training incident at Adazi Military Base, Latvia]
NATO Multinational Brigade Latvia can confirm that an incident occurred during a training exercise in the ฤdaลพi Military Base (AMB) training area on 25 September at approximately 5 p.m. involving four Italian members of our brigade.
The soldiers received immediate medical assistance at the scene and further treatment at the AMB medical clinic. All four soldiers were then subsequently transferred to a civilian hospital in Riga for more specialized treatment. Only one of the four sustained more serious injuries; however, at this time they are not considered to be life-threatening.
The safety and well-being of our soldiers remains our highest priority. An investigation has been initiated to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident and to determine the factors that contributed to it. It would be inappropriate to speculate on the cause while this process is ongoing.
NATO Multinational Brigade Latvia extends its thoughts and support to the injured soldiers, their families, and their comrades.
